LA RUSA Hotel ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This legendary little hotel was established by a Russian emigrant (a princess) and ex-dancer Mima Rubenskaya or "La Rusa de Baracoa". She had settled in Baracoa after fleeing the Revolution in 1917, at the age of six. There it is in black and white framed in the wall of the lobby.

The Russian turned her three-story house into a hotel - called Miramar - in 1953. It is assumed that several illustrious guests stayed there, including Errol Flynn and the poet Nicolás Guillén. Over the years La Rusa became an active participant in Cuban revolutionary politics and later Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro and Che Guevara would also stay.
